FUKI SUSHI (part V) - Fall/Winter 2016

The 18th Avenue Roll was the clear frontrunner in both of our opinions.

18th Avenue Roll - Lobster Tempura, Avocado (in), Tuna, Avocado (top) with Eel Sauce.

Dragon Roll - Eel, Cucumber (in), Avocado (top) with Eel Sauce.

Nice presentation on these specialty Rolls for a Brooklyn walk-in place, huh ?

10/26/16 - Cristina's Birthday

Cristina favored Sushi for her birthday dinner but did not in particular favor a place so we kept it close to home, as a matter of fact we took the Food home take-out style. Amongst the usual fare was the Eel Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Chicken Tempura Roll, Avocado Roll along with the 18th avenue Roll and,... But Whats This ?!!!

Well, I am not so surprised as I have been eyeing this little number for some months in part due to the braggadocio of "Crispy Ball of Rice" espoused amongst its mysterious Ingredients. Well, that is mostly what it consisted of,... that is Rice but quite well and entertaining it was.

Crispy Ball of Rice.

This was topped with Spicy Crunchy Tuna with Eel Sauce and Spicy Mayo.

A very simple concoction made mostly of Rice, enjoyable but I tried it, I liked it, time to move on.

SILVER STAR RESTAURANT FALL 2016 Brooklyn, New York

It is high time for a Silver Star entry on here,... Well,... Just Because.

10/10/16 (Cristina 2 year Anniversary Dinner).

Here we witness the Number 8 Combination Platter.

As of late I have been Hobnobbing as it were as an innocent bystander spying upon "other" peoples Culinary orders amidst visual viewing and audioception listening pre-soup time and the Number 8 is the clear frontrunner and for good reason as well.

Number 8 - Barbecued Spare Ribs, Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Egg Roll and of course the Appetizer portion of Soup. ($11.95).

Egg Roll (this photo should get the Pulitzer prize).

#19 - Beef with Oyster Sauce Combination Platter.

This was just grand as I was expecting the traditional "throw in a ton of vegetables to pad it out" but that was not the case. Strictly succulent Beef in Oyster Sauce which was actually Brown Gravy with no trace of Oyster Sauce but I did not complain and took some leftovers home as well.

Accidental photo titled "napkin on thigh"

10/15/16 - Shin Godzilla aftershow meal.

Above we see two of the mightiest Soups a Restaurant has to offer.

(Hot & Sour & Wonton)

The Won Ton Soup is served in proper Won Ton Broth as opposed to the run of the mill everyotherchineserestaurantusesit Chicken Broth (no offense to chicken broth but lets save that for chicken soup) and the Hot & Sour Soup speaks for itself chanting "eatme, eatme".

#17 - Roast Pork with Mushrooms in Brown Gravy Combination Platter.

In all honesty I know what I like and I like what I know sofar as the Silver Star Menu goes but in a transcendental state variety is where the mind and palette takes me heedingly as life is only a limited time and SO,...

What I am trying to type is that I am trying different things off of the Menu but my heart is with the Chow Mein and whatnot.

BUT I know What I Like so very soon it will be back to Chow Mein.

The Roast Pork with Mushrooms was Immaculate but did I expect anything less ?

At one point I mentioned to Frank that "If you look up Tender Pork Medallion" in the dictionary this photo turns up.

I Love these dishes, next up might be the Chef's Specialties Menu and I do stress "might" as this is the Classic Chow Mein Joint of yore and when in France do as they do in Silver Star wich translated means "order Chow Mein".
